Awards and Comments

Second Place
Great job in such a tall shallow space!
— Jeff Kropp
A beautiful aquascape. A nice compromise between open and planted space.
— Wim van Drongelen
I really like this tank! I like the colors and shapes of the plants and even though there are a lot of fish they are harmonious in form and color. It's a shame that there is a slight haze to the water.
